25th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Placed on his three starts here, all over this trip, including when he scored off 2lb higher in February and when giving Rubellite plenty to think about in first-time cheekpieces in June; like most of the field he was stuffed at Chester last time but his prospects are much brighter returned to this venue. |

9th 9 (13) |
11th Sep 2026 Soft 1m 7f 196y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Three-time AW winner at around 1m4f and his best efforts on turf have been at Beverley; failed to beat a rival home at Haydock (1m6f, good) last month and now steps up to 2m with a tongue-tie added; best to look elsewhere. |

Three wins on the AW earlier this year (1m4f); some fair form since, best turf runs being when placed over 1m4f at Beverley; stays 1m6f; a possible. |

5th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
0-17 on AW but he returned to form with a staying-on third here (1m6f) last month; now drops back in trip but he's 1lb lower than last time and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style; visor reapplied. |

3rd 2 (7) |
20th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

On losing run and 0-16 on AW, unable to justify favouritism at Chelmsford 12 days ago; another 2lb lower today and too much ability to discount. |

Yet to add to his C&D win just over two years ago but lost out only by a neck when clear second back here (1m2f, good) 12 days ago and is sure to be suited by this move back up in trip; high on the list. |
100/30 |

6th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
AW campaigner who is having his first realistic go on turf; went close at Wolverhampton (9.5f) and Kempton (1m4f) in his first two handicaps but didn't progress across this winter's campaign; last two starts saw big defeats in the spring but maybe wind surgery will help and a tongue-tie is now added to his cheekpieces. |
12/1 |

11th 5 (10) |
10th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Maiden who threatened to get off the mark in both starts when wearing cheekpieces in February; bombed out in a newly fitted visor when apprentice-ridden at Southwell last time but needs a second look with the cheekpieces back on. |
10/1 |
|
7th 2 (1) |
14th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Maiden who's been threatening of late; got the ability to win off this mark but been worried out of it a few times and was again inclined to hang left latest; switches to a visor from cheekpieces under Laurie Gallacher, who's taking a first ride under rules. |

16th Sep 2026 Good 1m 0f 100y Class 6 |

Sole win came over 1m (good) in 2023 but went close at 16-1 at Musselburgh (1m, good) latest; back up 3lb for that but a repeat would see him thereabouts. |

2nd 10 (5) |
24th Aug 2026 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 6 |

Sole win came at Ayr; among the market leaders back there early last month on first crack at 0-50 company, but finished well held behind Approaching Dawn; given a second go in a visor today, switched from cheekpieces. |

7th 1 (1) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Inconsistent on AW this year and record is only 1-27 but the Ayr factor makes him interesting on classified debut; gained his win in sole visit to this course (May 2023). |

25th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Placed for the first time when second of nine at Newcastle (12.5f, AW; 100-1) in February in first-time cheekpieces (retained since); beat only one home when beaten 26l here (1m4f) 20 days ago; has possibilities if able to show his best form. |

9th 10 (6) |

9st 1lb |
Won at Newcastle (2m, AW) in March and went close over that C&D last month but was well held when fourth behind Laravie at Pontefract (2m1f, good) 11 days ago and still needs to prove himself on turf. |

19th May 2026 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 6 |

Inconsistent but likes it here (C&D winner in March off 4lb lower) and should fare better, the blinkers experiment having been binned following a below-par effort last time. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Six-time Southwell winner, latterly for regular partner Elle-May Croot over this trip in the spring; never been the most consistent (that hasn't changed with age) and can pull hard but he always needs factoring in at this level. |
7/1 |

5th 4 (4) |
31st Aug 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |

Easy C&D win for regular partner Elle-May Croot in March came off 1lb higher; typically inconsistent since but has claims on his latest turf effort as he chases a seventh course win. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 4 (6) |
15th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 1m 6f 115y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present. |

Poor maiden who's never gone close to finishing placed (7f-1m6f); the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers didn't make any difference back on turf one month ago. |

4th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |

Longstanding maiden who's done most racing over further, latterly 1m6f; not a bad effort in first-time cheekpieces on Polytrack in May but she's had any number of chances. |

8th 10 (2) |
10th Jun 2026 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |

0-13 but she has posted some solid efforts, including when third of 12 at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in January; respectable effort there in first-time cheekpieces three weeks ago but her stamina for this far isn't assured. |
